when it finally sunk into feeble ilgs last few brain cells still knocking boots up in that precious hemisphere we know as the Skull that Dewa was literally gonna Be Here Now back in Durango? Alongside ilg? My former Shadow returning from the months long darkness of Her at college 1,205 miles away? Reckon it was time to c(om)mission Whitney, Durango’s best Color&Cut professional to help shift ilg from Nordic Man to Summer Man…
cuz? Dewachen – whose very sacred name literally translates from Tibetan to English as “Golden Light Of Bliss” would soon be in Durango with her bf Ben within hours…
so, quickly took up a broad based Sharpie and transitioned into non-trail work garb after 7 hours of self hauling a ton or more of gravel to complete my Lodge Parking Lot perimeter enhancement project:

that is an example of 5 meters of my entire 400-meter project…
yet, sure enough?
after months of countless chanting of Dewa’s Blessed Mantra? Sure enough? She MANIFESTED again into my arms!!! this time, bringing her XC/Track Racing Teammate and boyfriend of several months; Ben with her… Dewa was sooooo stoked to be h(om)e and more importantly share a week with Her loved one in Her h(om)town… – stay tuned cuz ilg is rebuilding WF fr(om) ground up including whole new revitalization of my weekly SteveIlgYouTube vlog, plus my Sacred Sweat Podcast and Substack whereupon YOU will help ILG write my final (?) book; SACRED SWEAT; The Unreal Life, Times, and Wholistic Fitness® Teachings of Steve Ilg and How They Will Save Our Spirit In Kali Yuga!
Not wanting to be overbearing, ilg waited patiently until today whereupon Dewa asked ilg to guide her and Ben on a “gentle” cardio workout… “got you, babe” ilg replied…
and so…
ilg took D and B right up and into ilgs’ chi-ldhood homes backyard along a 5k mountainous route with creek crossing corridors…
had to pick this OG ilg route that literally NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT even in today’s crazy Durango endurance athlete Mecca … cuz? it has this great photo op place with Dewa’s and ilg’s childhood backyard range of the La Plata’s yet especially with Silver Peak as background…
click above link for a cool vid from today…
as with any Wholistic Fitness® mountain run? if there’s a boulder looking fly? us ilg’s can’t resist… Here, Dewa jumps on a spontaneous V2 traverse asking; “Dad? Do my lats looked ripped, still?”
dat’s my girl fs….
love HER!!
stay tuned… sooooo much more c(om)ing in ilg’s rebuild of WF.com and WAAAY HIGHER!
